4CH ANALOG UNIT U8978

Key Features

Measurement of sensor output, etc. with high sensitivity range of 100 mV f.s.
Isolated 4 channel input
Max. rated voltage to ground (direct input) 30 V AC, 60 V AC; (when combined with the 9665) 300 V AC or DC (CATⅡ)
High speed sampling of 5 MS/s ensures high-speed phenomena are captured
High 16-bit A/D resolution
For Memory HiCorder MR6000, MR6000-01（ver. 2.10 or later), MR8740T (ver. 2.00 or later), and MR8847A （ver. 2.00 or later)

Model No. (Order Code)

U8978

Note: Use it by installing it in the Memory HiCorder. Input cords not included - please purchase separately.

Simultaneously measure up to 32 channels at high resolution

The MR6000 can simultaneously measure up to 32 channels, while the MR8740T can measure up to 108 channels at a time.
Thanks to four input channels and a high-sensitivity 100 mV f.s. range, the U8978 can measure multiple channels of signals from a variety of sensors. The unit is ideal for use in measuring currents of various magnitudes in the development of automobile accessory controls. Utilized in combination with the multi-range Current Probe CT6711, it can measure currents from 1 mA to 50 A.

Observe minuscule currents using high-sensitivity wideband current probes

Analyze minuscule current waveforms from low power-consumption devices in 100 μA resolution. Record device current consumption waveforms in high resolution over extended periods of time.
